Matteson Crash Injures Driver From Crestwood

January 05, 1995

A Crestwood woman was in serious condition Wednesday at Olympia Fields Osteopathic Medical Center after an accident in Matteson.

Irene Mouzakis-Jinadu, 25, struck the median of the northbound lane of Cicero Avenue just before 1 a.m. after turning from U.S. Highway 30, police said. When her car stopped, it was blocking northbound Cicero, police said. Her car was then struck by a car driven by John Drage, 28, of Matteson, police said.

Drage also was taken to Olympia Fields Osteopathic, where he was treated and released. Police said charges were pending.

Police said they charged a man who wasn't involved in the crash. Police said an officer told Brian K. Bridges, 24, of Country Club Hills to move, but Bridges refused, swore at the officer and then pushed him. Bridges was charged with battery and resisting arrest.
